²⁸The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out. ²⁹All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore. ³⁰They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.

Summary

Ezekiel 27:29 describes the reaction of those who witness the destruction of Tyre, a prosperous and influential city. The verse portrays a sense of horror and dismay among all who knew of Tyre's wealth and power, as they witness its downfall. This serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of worldly success and the consequences of pride and arrogance. Ultimately, Ezekiel 27:29 highlights the importance of humility and reliance on God rather than on material possessions or human achievements.
